The Pirates released Cabbage on Monday. Per Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Cabbage was given his release so that he could sign with the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. The 27-year-old was a waiver claim by Pittsburgh in November after he slashed .209/.253/.337 with a 37.4 percent strikeout rate with the Astros during the 2024 season.

The Pirates claimed Cabbage off waivers from the Astros on Monday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Cabbage, 27, slashed just .209/.253/.337 with a 37.4 percent strikeout rate this season with the Astros. He's shown big power and some speed in the minors and the Pirates will hope they can get more out of the outfielder at the major-league level.

The Astros recalled Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Cabbage will take Pedro Leon's slot on the 26-man roster Monday. Cabbage has appeared in 43 games for Houston and is slashing .217/.253/.349 with 12 runs and eight RBI. He'll likely mix in at the corner outfield positions for the Astros.

The Astros optioned Cabbage to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday. Cabbage had made just four starts since the All-Star break and was 4-for-34 with 18 strikeouts since the break. Zach Dezenzo is taking his spot on the roster.

Cabbage is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Chas McCormick will get the nod in right field Thursday, and he and Cabbage have now picked up six starts apiece at the position since Kyle Tucker bruised his right shin earlier this month and eventually landed on the injured list. Houston should continue to deploy a timeshare between the lefty-hitting Cabbage and the righty-hitting McCormick at the position until Tucker is back in action, but manager Joe Espada doesn't seem to be running a strict platoon.
